About this map

Lowry and the surrounding plains of Cascade and Teton counties are defined by a complex network of twentieth-century water management infrastructure. The landscape is crisscrossed by an extensive system of man-made waterways, including the Greenfields Main Canal, Hamilton Canal, and Floweree Canal, which draw from the primary artery of the Sun River. These canals, alongside smaller features like the Spring Valley Canal and Crown Butte Canal, illustrate the intensive irrigation efforts required to support agriculture in this region of Montana.

Natural drainage features like Duck Cr and Dipping Tank Cr navigate the coulees that break the flat terrain, such as Floweree Coulee and Loomis Coulee. Transportation is anchored by the Sun River Bridge and State Hwy 408, providing critical links for the scattered ranching community. The map also delineates several county lines, showing where Lewis and Clark Co, Cascade Co, and Teton Co meet near the river banks.
